The Taylorville Kiwanis recently made a donation to the local C.E.F.S Head Start Program. Board games and food items were part of the donation as well as a check for $245. For over 50 years, the C.E.F.S. Economic Opportunity Corporation has been providing Head Start services to the counties of Christian, Clay, Effingham, Fayette, Montgomery, Moultrie and Shelby counties. Head Start is a federal program funded through the Department of Health and Human Services that provides comprehensive education and health services to children.

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Memorial Hospital auditorium. For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
